Pinball Wizard?

Have any of you been to the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas? It looks fun to me for killing some time and getting a fill of nostalgia. I grew up on a resort and we always had pinball machines. There are so many old machines that I would love to see again.





Here is the link to their site.

Pinball Wizard?


Yes - I make a stop most trips to Vegas. Great place.



Pinball Wizard?


We went there last trip and had a great time. My 25 year old son had a blast. At his age he was brought up on video games, but found a lot of themed pinball machines from cartoons, movies and music groups. We took lots of pictures either playing or standing next to the machines. They are all working and it is fun to play old ones we were familiar with or ones we missed and had not seen before.




This is my home away from home. I easily go there twice a week. You can play the newest machine ';Wheel of Fortune'; or a machine 50 years old. All playable. It%26#39;s clean. Play as you go. Take pictures and enjoy the ride. Tim has done a great job and we%26#39;re all able to enjoy from his generocity in opening this place. Every pinball lover should support the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.




What is the best way to get there if staying at Bally%26#39;s?




The best way to get there from Bally%26#39;s is to have a rental car and drive. Second best is to take the bus - specific directions are on their website. Note that a $5 daily deuce pass also covers these busses.





Cabs aren%26#39;t really recommended because - (1) it%26#39;s not that much cheaper than just renting a car for the day and (2) getting a cab back is kinda tricky.




The title of this thread had me hoping that there was some new slot machine themed after The Who (%26amp; Elton John) song from ';Tommy.'; ';Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to, your very own machine!'; (I know, different song, same movie.) Just a thought in case anyone from IGT, Williams or Bally Tech is reading this!
